Seaside

The lights flicker and go out

I still sit watching the waves

The sound filters in

But doesn’t land anywhere

While my lights are still on

The darkness prevails

And the diminishing horizon

Goes obscure

The laughter slowly dies down

I still sit watching the waves

The water wets my feet

But doesn’t touch anywhere

While my lights are still on

The world sleeps off

And the gripping vastness

Goes obscure

The shooting crackers are long gone

I still sit watching the waves

The sands shift through my feet

But doesn’t leave at all

While my lights are still on

The clouds hide the moon

And the abating silence

Goes obscure

The memories slowly filter in

I still sit watching the waves

The waves crash on rocks

But doesn’t whisper anymore

While my lights are still on

The sky meets the horizon

And the splashing blue

Goes obscure

The ache is back again

I still sit watching the waves

The heart starts to beat fast

But I don’t feel the throb at all

While my lights slowly incinerate

The hand caresses my lips

And the squeezing serenity

Goes obscure

Mirror

Mirror

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is the scariest of them all?

Behold the darkness of your dreams

I speak nothing but the silence of your scream

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is the bravest of them all?

Behold the walls around your heart

I speak nothing but the lines that are scarred

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is the sweetest of them all?

Behold the bitterness within your soul

I speak nothing but the evil you stole

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is the faithful of them all?

Behold the trust you broke

I speak nothing but the heart you choked

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is the happiest of them all?

Behold the smile that hides the pain

I speak nothing but the thoughts that are chained

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is the beautiful of them all?

Behold the scars that mar the lines

I speak nothing but the eyes that look at you and shine

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is the normal of them all?

Behold the stern stance of the usual

I speak nothing but the hidden strength of the unusual

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is the loneliest of them all?

Behold the crowd around you

I speak nothing but the emptiness that is true

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is the guiltiest of them all?

Behold the crimes that you hide

I speak nothing but the eyes that leave you terrified

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is the fairest of them all?

Behold the skin that is dark

I speak nothing but the fairness within the bark

Raindrops

Raindrops

I struggle to cope

I survive still not live

I am devastated but not ruined

Yet the life in my palms slips away slowly

And the raindrops keep on falling

But nothing reaches the deep

I falter on every step

I wake up to empty rooms

I see you everywhere

Yet the mirror in my palms slips away slowly

And the raindrops keep on falling

But nothing reaches the deep

I search for you

I try to grab onto scraps

I feel alive with every breathe I take

Yet the sense in my palms slips away slowly

And the raindrops keep on falling

But nothing reaches the deep

I drive away everything

I smile and laugh

I let the world seep in

Yet the universe in my palms slips away slowly

And the raindrops keep on falling

But nothing reaches the deep

Reminiscence shelters every core

The heart stops but beats never slow down

Silence rules everything now

Yet the screams in my palms slips away

And the raindrops keep on falling

But nothing reaches the deep

When It's Time to go.....

When It's Time to go.....

When it’s time to go, I’ll close my eyes and forget

When it’s time to go, I’ll open my walls and feel

When it’s time to go, I’ll let you hold my hand and cry
